In order to understand and address the issues which typically prevail in the industry, extensive analytical work, assembled around four broad based thematic areas - business environment, human resources, materials, equipment and machinery - was undertaken. The report concludes that the industry stakeholders lack capacity to deliver the planned medium term development framework (MTDF) infrastructure. The study has identified areas in which the GoP needs to carry out further work, detailed assessments and research such as: Rationalizing construction related taxes and tariff structures; Create a best practices project specific delivery organization (GoP could use Diamer or Bhasha Dam as an example) using an integrated construction process; Centralizing data on HR availability and future demand for better planning and management; Streamlining and facilitating import of construction equipment; Studying procedures to assist in improving cash flows on projects; Researching and adopting best practices for technical support, financing and credit facilities for the industry; and Institutional arrangements to provide long-term sustainable development of the industry.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTACCOUNTSACQUISITIONACTION PLANSADVANCED INFRASTRUCTUREAIRAIRPORTAIRPORTSAUDITORSAUDITSBEST PRACTICESBOTTLENECKSBUDGETINGBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS PROCESSBUSINESS PROCESSESBUSINESS SECTORBUSINESSESCAPITAL EXPENDITURECASH FLOWCASH FLOWSCOMPETITIVENESSCONSTRUCTIONCONSTRUCTION WORKCONTRACTORSCOST OVERRUNSCOSTS OF DELAYSCUSTOMDISPUTE RESOLUTIONDRAINAGEDRINKING WATERECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTELASTICITIESELECTRICITYENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY RESOURCESEQUIPMENTEQUIPMENTSEXPENDITURESEXPERT OPINIONSFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOREIGN EXCHANGEFRAMEWORK AGREEMENTSFUELSFUNCTIONALITYGASGLOBAL COMPETITIVENESSGOVERNMENT POLICIESGRAPHICAL REPRESENTATIONGROWTH POTENTIALHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCESIMAGEIMPLEMENTATION PERIODIMPLEMENTATION PERIODSIMPLEMENTATION PROCESSIMPLEMENTATION PROCESSESIMPLEMENTATION RESOURCESINFORMATION PROVIDERSINFRASTRUCTURE COSTSINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTSINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINNOVATIONSINSPECTIONINSTITUTIONINTERNATIONAL CLIENTSINVESTMENT IN ROADSJOINT VENTUREJOINT VENTURESKNOWLEDGE BASELAW ENFORCEMENTLEGISLATIVE ENVIRONMENTMANUFACTURINGMASS TRANSITMATERIALNUCLEAR POWEROPERATING ENVIRONMENTSOUTSOURCINGPCPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPHYSICAL CONSTRUCTIONPHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTUREPIPELINESPOPULATION GROWTHPOWER GENERATIONPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTORSPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT PROCESSESPRODUCT DEVELOPMENTPRODUCTIVITYPROFIT MARGINSPROJECT MANAGEMENTPUBLIC RELATIONSPUBLIC SECTOR INFRASTRUCTURERAILRAILWAYSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESERVOIRSRESULTRESULTSRETENTIONROADROADSSANITATIONSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVIDERSSITESSOCIAL SERVICESSUPPLY CHAINTARGETSTAXTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL KNOWLEDGETECHNICAL STAFFTECHNICAL SUPPORTTECHNICAL TRAININGTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTELECOMMUNICATIONTIME FRAMETRANSACTIONTRANSMISSIONTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT AUTHORITYTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT SECTORUNFAIR COMPETITIONVALUE CHAINVEHICLESVERIFICATIONVERIFICATIONSWATER SUPPLYWEBWEB PORTALSWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/7671
